Muut tiedot

The Tang dynasty (618 - 907) is the only period to have known a female sovereign in Chinese history: Empress Wu Zetian (625-706) who came to the throne by descent during the early Tang dynasty.
Women’s clothing became subject to fashion changes, which is clearly reflected in Tang pottery and terracotta models of ladies, also known as "Fat Ladies". The most traditional dress for Tang women was based on a bodice or top and ankle-length skirt.
Elaborate hairstyles are a characteristic feature of Tang pottery women and not without a reason. The people of ancient China believed that some part of the essence and life force of a human being was contained in the hair. Over a hundred different styles were used with the aid of hair extensions, pins and combs to create an elaborate coiffure.
